[Esip-documentation] ACDD definitions for data and metadata

[John Graybeal via Esip-documentation]

Hi everyone,

To save you the trouble of looking it up, here is the content for the section we pre-approved for data and metadata:

Definitions: Data and Metadata
-----------------------------------------
In several ACDD attribute names or definitions, the terms 'data' and 'metadata' are used. In the context of NetCDF files, these refer specifically to the values within the file, and the attributes of the file, respectively.

John

P.S.  Thanks everyone for all the hard work this past month, and for putting up with my bull-by-horns style of leading the calls.  As Anna said, we've produced a lot of very good documentation through this process.  Meeting notes/update to follow.
